They purchased property in Texas after Fake Pot 1.0 ended in August 2010, and once again have built up a huge nationwide network of dealers selling their stuff! They have hired more than one chemist to produce their line of products.

The Mushroom maintains a number of web sites selling their brands, including mushroomnola.com,www.abetterherb.com & www.Dascents.com. All are being updated as this post is being updated. Online, the Mushroom sells a variety of potpourris and offers far better prices than the brick and mortar Mushroom itself on many. As mentioned in other posts about the Mushroom, this stuff has increased the profit substantially for the Mushroom owner.

When this Cloud 9 ban was instituted, no mention was made concerning potpourri, and botanical potpourri lives on big time in Louisiana.
